Covington and the neighboring Rayon Terrace sit at the confluence of the Jackson River and Dunlap Creek, marking a vital industrial and transport hub in the late 1940s. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the winding path of the creek, serving remote stations like Backbone Siding and Alleghany near the state border. This landscape is defined by the intersections of the Monongahela National Forest, George Washington National Forest, and Jefferson National Forest, where high ridges like Peters Mountain and Middle Mtn create a natural barrier between West Virginia and Virginia.
